Excess feeding.

Malfunction of prebiotics.

The part of fibers that were not fermented.
D
water absorption
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Another name for stool is feces. It is made of what is left after your digestive system (stomach, small intestine, and colon) absorbs nutrients and fluids from what you eat and drink. Sometimes a bowel movement isn’t normal. Diarrhea happens when stool passes through the large intestine too quickly.

Detailed explanation-2: -Insoluble, poorly fermented fibers Small, insoluble fiber particles (e.g., finely ground wheat bran) have no laxative effect and can actually have a constipating effect by adding only to the dry stool mass (see Improving regularity in stool elimination).

Detailed explanation-3: -Dietary fibers, which are composed of both fermentable and non-fermentable fibers, have a wide range of physiological effects. Fermentable fibers are easily fermented by bacteria in the colon, while non-fermentable fiber are not.
